Scoot looking at adding a SIN-India-MAN route as well as a few other routes in Europe. Made a point of saying 'Manchester, not London'. This would be in addition to the SIN-MAN-IAH flight as its about promoting India-Europe traffic.
They also want to add a similar route to Zurich, which is an SQ A380 destination so you know they are not going to pull the routes in favour of 1 stop via India.

Quite. Perhaps more lucrative for the airport than being able to accept a few diversions on the odd occasion.
If true, will be ironic if MAN turn away BA diverts when the snow arrives (Daily Mail 'New Ice Age' type headlines this am)

Flybe plane returns to Manchester after being struck by lightning during 'thundersnow' storm - Manchester Evening News
All ended safely but what a plank
@stuartjsmith is
Endless moaning to Flybe MEN about refreshments and compensation as his 40th
"Has been completely ruined"
Coming down in the North Sea might have "pepped " things up !
You complete and utter Idiot.

What makes no sense is why MAN ? MAN struggles to park its own a/c and there are airfields all across the country with much more space.
Contrary to Skippy's post...
Since BA fled the regions,.....blah blah blah personal opinion blah blah blah.... They have sacked all of their ground handling staff outside LHR,

BA 789s almost certainly Thanksgiving short term parking. All transatlantic carriers greatly reduce services for a few days up to and on Thanksgiving leading to significant parking problems

I think Porky may have got it - using Thursday last week as a guide, 5 789s depart to US destinations on a Thursday. A quick look at the on line BA timetable shows that next week 4 are cancelled on both 24th and 25th, and one on the 24th only. 24th is Thanksgiving.

BA 789s
We can all relax, There is no danger of BA moving in to upset the good work being done by Virgin/Delta and Thomas Cook at MAN. The 789s are indeed short term parking overspill at BA's request.

AA's PHL today has a huge delay. Noticed its an A333 today rather than the usual 200. Problems with the aircraft due to operate the flight? AA keeping up their consistent reliability record anyway

Surprising, but if you replay FR24 it got as far as off the coast of Maine near Portland, then turned round and went to Charlotte, overflying Philadelphia en route. Presumably Charlotte had a spare 330 (and crew) available there and Philly didn't. Sounds like out of the box thinking that got them to MAN in the end - I suspect a lot of carriers would have returned to PHL, cancelled the flight and most people would have been home a day late rather than 7 hours. They were only on the ground in Charlotte a couple of hours, which isn't bad considering they had to transfer pax and bags.
